A CANDIDATE
OF THE PEOPLE
T. M. POOLE
Robert Maddox, president of a land com-
pany, a director of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, wants to be county commis
sioner to pass on his affairs. Does the Mad
dox bank want the earth? Mr. Peel, his partner,
is chairman of the city's sinking fund that holds
all the city securities for the redemption of her
bonds. His cashier, Mr. Peeples, is city treas
urer. Does the city and county want to turn
over their affairs to them in full or in part? I
am a candidate of the people and if elected will
represent the people.

tight until there Is some permanent
settlement as to the all Important whis
ky traffic.
Mayor Woodward satd that he nev.
er knew so many sick people to be In
Atlanta before at one time. “Every

SpeHnl to The Georgian.
Anniston, Ala., Sept. 29.—The storm
which Bwept the Southern states with
such fury did not omit Anniston from
the places visited, und considerable
property damage was done here by the

‘‘Did we know the Ah Pong girls?"
"Why, of course. All army nnd navy
men know the Ah Fongs. And they
are swell lookers, too."
Officers at Fort McPherson remem
ber very distinctly the daughter* of
Wing Ah Fong, afterwards Mr. Afong.
who died In China, n few days ago and
left a fortune estimated at between
$10,000,000 and $30,000,000.
One officer of the Seventeenth mar
ried one of them. Lieutenant Andrew
J. Dougherty, who Joined the Seven
teenth in 1899 while the regiment was
stationed in Luzon, stopped In Hono
lulu a few days on his way. He inet
Martha Muriel Afong, reigning belle
of Honolulu, and when the regiment
left the Philippine* he brought Mrs.
Martha Muriel I>ougherty to the Uni
ted States with him. Lieutenant Dough
erty was transferred to the Twenty-
eighth Infantry in 1901 and ha* never
been with the Seventeenth since It
sent to Fort McPherson. His regiment
Is now at Fort Snelling. Minn.
"And Andrew ought to come Into a
nice little fortune." said one officer
Saturday morning.
"The Afong girls," as they have been
known to the army nnd navy for years,
are very little like Chinese. Their
father was a half-caste nnd their moth
er a Portuguese and the daughters have
but a fourth of Chinese blood. They
have traveled everywhere, have been
dined and feted In many countries,
one of them—there were thirteen
daughters—married Captain, now Rear
Admiral, Whiting, of the United States
navy. Another married Lieutenant
Riggs, of the navy—the second daugh
ter Is the wife of Lieutenant Dougherty.
"They are refined. Intelligent wom
en," said one of the officers, "and bear
little trace of Chinese blood. They
were very popular with army nnd navy
men and entertained lavishly In Hono
lulu."
